8st 7lb |
Seven wins between turf and AW; won premier handicaps at Leopardstown and over C&D in 2025; went off the boil in Bahrain over the winter but best run since came at Dundalk last time; needs more from 1lb out of the handicap. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 2lb |
Rock solid record of 4-6 on AW including two wins over C&D; is 2lb lower than when last winning here in 2024 and wasn't disgraced when beaten 4.25l in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last month; interesting back at this venue. |

Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive. |

Dual C&D winner (on good and heavy) in 2024 but no joy since; beaten 1l when third in this last year and 1lb lower now but had the benefit of a recent run that day; might need this after 238 days off but Keane booked so market check advised. |

9st 4lb |
Veteran's last win came over C&D in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August 2023; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 2.75l fifth in this last year and 11lb lower now; not beaten far the last twice, fast ground is fine and he's an interesting runner. |

3rd 1 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on penultimate run at this track (1m2f) when beaten 3.5l in sixth; kept on well to take 1l third at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) on latest; off a winnable mark and drop in trip is in this veteran's favour. |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

Easy to make a case on plenty of her handicap runs, including when second to a smart British raider at the Curragh in May (1m, good); tried cheekpieces last week at Leopardstown but unseated her rider soon after exiting the stalls. |

Allowed to dictate from the front when good second in Curragh premier handicap in late May (good) and ran well for long way in similar contest on Derby weekend; in between well held on quick ground at Ascot; generally consistent sort respected but others possibly better handicapped. |

Won off 5lb lower at the Curragh last season (1m2f, yielding); not a bad run over that C&D on seasonal return but struggled upped to 1m4f there on latest; eased 1lb, cheekpieces go on and this shorter trip more suitable so not dismissed. |

Won off 6lb lower here in October (1m2f, yielding); handles quicker ground and should come on for pleasing comeback run over 1m2f here (good) last month, but has to prove he stays this far. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; 0-8 this term for new yard but is proving consistent, creditable third when favourite at Hamilton (1m1f) most recently; this may be the day to catch him, with tongue-tie worn for the first time. |

Sole win came at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 when trained by Dermot Weld but has posted some good efforts for this stable, including when fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; now steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |

0-13 since winning in April 2024 on his second start and the drop back to 1m poses a question; only sixth of nine at Sandown three weeks ago but running well previously; might have an each-way chance if bouncing back. |

Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

The last of his four wins came in a C&D premier handicap in June 2024; some cracking runs in defeat since, including a close sixth in this race last year and runner-up over C&D in June; not as good behind Kalir last time. |

Last win came in a valuable C&D handicap in June 2024 off 88; best run for almost a year came in the same event here last time in first-time blinkers (retained), with 3l back to Playin Cool; 5lb rise for that is perhaps a tad harsh but winner ran well twice at Galway; firmly in the mix. |
